The Australian Federal Government has revealed its 2025–26 Budget, focusing on investments in the energy sector to strengthen the economy and offer relief to households. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese highlighted the importance of building a more productive and resilient economy to navigate global uncertainties. The budget emphasizes supporting renewable technologies, green metals, and attracting private and global investments to advance the 'Future Made in Australia' agenda. Key initiatives involve unlocking $8 billion for renewable energy, expanding the Clean Energy Finance Corporation, and providing tax incentives for hydrogen and critical minerals production. Additional funds are allocated for green metals, clean energy technology manufacturing, and low carbon liquid fuels. Moreover, the budget extends energy bill relief measures until the end of 2025, with households and small businesses receiving direct rebates. The government aims to lower electricity prices and promote energy efficiency through rebates, grants for small businesses, and market reforms. The Energy Efficiency Grants for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises program is extended, offering funding for energy upgrades. Additionally, the ACCC's Inquiry into the National Electricity Market has been prolonged for 12 months. These measures aim to ensure a sustainable and affordable energy future for Australia.
